Is anyone doing this?? I don't even know if this is an option at my hall (I have 1 hour cocktail, 4 hour reception)...but I just wanted to see if anyone is adding either a half hour or hour to their reception. I know that halls vary in price...but is it typically expensive to do this??
i would love to but I think it would be too much for us an dI would also have to keep the Dj!
we did this we added an extra hour but we split it up. We put 1/2 hour on the cocktail hour and 1/2 hour on the end of the party. Rh had no problem doing this for us although there were some that said they cannot do it.
They did this at the last wedding that I went to and I was so happy b/c I didn't want to stop dancing!!! The DJ announced it when they had like 30 minutes left. I would say if it's not to expensive, it's a nice surprise for guest. Especially if the party doesn't feel like its slowing down yet.

We're doing the VH, but I don't know if it actually extends it or just rolls into the normal time slot........hmmmmm I should call and ask.
Laura, I swear I was just thinking the same. If we are adding the VH, shouldn't we be added an extra hour, not just included in the 4 hour reception?
i am extending my reception an hour and it was a fee of $1200
We have the option of adding on 1.5 hours for an afterparty, but it's an extra $30 a head, so we're not sure if it's worth it.

Ok, I just called NRC because I was wondering. The VH is rolled into the 4 hour reception, so it's the last hour or 45 minutes (your choice). The guy on the phone (I have no idea who it was) also said that to add on an extra hour, it would be $1000.

Come to think of it, thats not actually fair lol. I actually had them add an extra 30 minutes, which I was told would be $500, but they gave it to us for free. But generally, they should add an hour if you add a VH package, right? we have CH 6 - 7 and then 7-11:30 (incase people stay until the end).....the VH will start like 10ish....

In a way, I guess you're right. But I'm not complaining - I got the VH thrown in for free, so I'm not paying extra for it anyway, lol. Besides, then I'd have to have the band, photog, and videog and extra hour, and at that point, the costs really start to rack up.
we are doing an extra hour for our VH!!! Our Rh threw it in but other places I looked charged you for it!
we are having an hour and a half cocktail hour (that is the norm for my place) , and also having VH hour..
we extended it...we are having a full viennese hour=) our reception is 7:30-1:30! and we didn't even get into the afterparty at the mariott lol
